Right firstly..

 

I had NOTHING to do with this site, NOTHING, well other than uploading it. It's a monstrocity, a waste of web server space and I campaigned for weeks for us not to use it and instead for me to sit and make a new one from scratch. It was created by two sixth years in 2006 and by god did they do a poor job.

 

Please note:

 

1. the use of BMPs as graphics

2. the spam advertising on the pages

3. the annoying use of EVERYTHING

4. EVERYTHING

5. oh and lack of titles at the top.

 

Honestly, I'm ashamed, but at the same time laughing my backside off.

 

Prepare to be stunned.

Prepared to laugh like a laughing hyena on laughing gas which just watch the Two Ronnies episode with the "four candles" joke..

I'll second Webman!

 

How long does it take to load!! I could've read War and Peace by the time the page finished downloading! Admittedly I'm at home, but it's still a 1Meg broadband connection :s

untitled page? god thats elementary.

 

come on, give the kids a hand with it

 

I would but they've all left school now!

 

I've suggested that it's used as a project for 5th/6th year pupils doing higher computing and that if they need any help I'll gladly give them it - if it helps get rid of this thing!

Well, atleast it's better than the crap that forntpage generates.... :p

 

That's where WYSIWYG gets you - inline styles, absolutely-positioned boxes, 41 validation errors! :)

I think my own personal highlight is the expression on the face of your headmaster - tell me, did they take it at the same time as showing him the website for the first time?

I can assure you that my school website is considerably worse. It's so bad it doesn't appear on Google and only has one picture of the school, and the rest are generic pictures of American Kids using equipment that our school couldn't afford in 100 budgets.

 

Needless to say, I didn't make it.

That site makes baby Jesus cry.

 

Having the 2.6MB bitmap as the background is especially bad. Our Year 7s could do better.

 

I don't know if it's a peculiarity in Opera (didn't want to check in another browser, it would probably exceed my bandwidth cap for the month :p) but when you bring down one of the mouseover menus at the top, it makes the entire content of the site disappear until you move the mouse away from the menu.

lol! the poor guy has never seen it, partly why I was so keen on us not using it. I explained to him that he'd not like it once he was up but he muttered something about charter mark and said it was a requirement..

To be fair, there is quite a lot of prospectus-like content on there, which is more than I've seen a lot of other school's sites offer. It's just ruined by the pictures, the purple, and the..umm...pfonts.

You think the above school websites are bad, take a look at this:

http://www.burgate.hants.sch.uk

Click on the main website button to enter.

It is real rubbish. A very bad advert for the school. & I am glad to say, I had nothing to do with it.

 

It's nice to know there is a service on 4 months ago!

 

The lack of pictures also makes it slightly creepy.
